I am loving the peplum trend right now! Who doesn’t
love a style that gives you a tiny-looking waist?!? Peplums make me feel really feminine
and sexy without showing too much skin.
When I started reading personal style blogs regularly,
however, I started to shy away from peplum tops because I struggled to remix
them into unique-looking ensembles.
To me, a peplum has such a distinct style and structure. How do you alter it to create a new
look?
When I get stuck in a fashion rut, I often return to
Audrey’s blog, Putting Me Together.
Audrey is a whiz at looking stylish and, well, put together while dressing in an affordable and down to earth
manner. She also provides very
focused advice and directions for creating a remixable wardrobe. I am an organized, detail-oriented
person and Audrey’s logical approach to fashion really works for me!
In her series, “Building a Remixable Wardrobe,” Audrey
writes about shopping for remixable pieces. When she gives tips on purchasing shirts, Audrey suggests
finding tops that can be worn alone, belted, tied and tucked. That way you can get four different looks
out of one shirt…and we haven’t even thought about the bottoms yet!
So back to remixing peplum tops… I got to thinking about
tucking peplums. I don’t think
this would work with just any old bottoms because of the particular structure
of the top, but with the right outfit, it works! AND it makes the shirt look totally different!
Peplum Untucked!
Peplum Tucked!
What do you think?
Are you into the peplum trend?
I would love to see some links to peplums that you’ve been coveting!
